Wicked!: The deliciously irreverent new chapter of The Rutshire Chronicles by Sunday Times bestselling author Jilly Cooper
A tale of two schools…
At Bagley Hall, a notoriously wild, but increasingly academic, independent, crammed with the children of the famous, trouble is afoot. The ambitious and fatally attractive headmaster, Hengist Brett-Taylor, hatches a plan to share the facilities of his school with Larkminster Comprehensive – known locally, as ‘Larks’.
His reasons for doing so are purely financial, but he is encouraged by the opportunities the scheme gives him for frequent meetings with Janna Curtis, the dynamic new head of Larks, who has been drafted in to save what is a fast-sinking school from closure. Janna is young, pretty, enthusiastic and vastly brave – and she will do anything to rescue her demoralised, run-down and cash-strapped school.
Neither parents nor staff of either school are too keen on this radical move, although some can see the possible financial advantages. For the students, however, it offers great opportunities to get up to even more mayhem than usual.

Words For Parting: Victorian Poetry On Death and Mourning
Love and grief and the two most private, and at the same time the most universal of all human emotions. It is for love that we remember the dead: love of their spirits, love of their vibrancy, love of the good deeds which they did and which live on after them. The poems in this collection were all written by grieving hearts who have now themselves passed over into that great mystery. We can not truly know what death is, yet we know it will come to all of us. In ancient times when a friend told the philosopher Socrates that his judges had sentenced him to death he responded, “And has not Nature passed the same sentence on them?”
Inasmuch as there can ever be any comfort for those left behind, part of it lies in knowing that death is a reflection of life. When it comes we cry, then we take our first faltering steps towards understanding. In time we become accustomed to this manifold enigma which nature has given us, and then ultimately we look towards the future with hope.
If this little book of poems may be of some help to those in sorrow by reminding them they are not alone, then it will have done its work.Read more

Working for the Royals (Kindle Single)
Ask any visitor to London, from Tokyo to Tennessee, what is their number one priority in places to see, and the answer will invariably be: Buckingham Palace. It is by far the most famous building in the world and the lady who lives there, Queen Elizabeth 11, is easily the most famous woman on the planet.
Her Majesty employs some 1,200 men and women, full and part-time, permanent and temporary in her various Royal residences with over 400 working for her at Buckingham Palace alone.
So, what is she like to work for? Is she a generous employer? Does she encourage friendliness among those whose salaries she pays or does she prefer to keep her distance? Is it true she hates her servants to have facial hair – beards or moustaches? Why do the housemaids have to vacuum while walking backwards at all times? How are the servants told to react when they meet the Queen or any member of her family? What’s the money like?

So why do most of them stay for many years? This book gives all the answers from the inside.Brian Hoey has written 26 books about Britain’s Royal Family and as a former reporter and presenter with BBC Television and Radio he has interviewed Prince Charles, Princess Anne ( whose official biography he wrote), the Duke of Edinburgh and the late Diana, Princess of Wales.

World War I: An Enthralling Guide from Beginning to End (Military History)
World War I is infamous for revolutionizing modern warfare as we know it.It is well known that World War I was kicked off by the assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The world superpowers engaged in the bloodiest conflict in history at that time, with millions of casualties on either side. World War I transformed the socio-political landscape of the early 20th century and shaped the lives of countless people for decades to come.
However, there is much more to World War I than Franz Ferdinand’s assassination and the clash of the Entente and Central Powers. It was a conflict deeply rooted in hateful rivalries of the world’s most powerful states and came as a somewhat logical conclusion to the endless balancing and political maneuvering of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. And it would change the course of history forever.
This book will dive into the Great War, exploring what caused it, how it unfolded, and it’s short- and long-term consequences. Here are some of the things you will learn about in this book:
- The long nineteenth century and how it affected the political landscape
- Germany and Italy’s unification
- The state of European power politics
- New technological advancements that shaped the war
- The Austro-Hungarian problem and the start of WWI
- Military activities in all theaters of the war
- The influential battles of Verdun, the Somme, Isonzo, and Gallipoli
- Trench warfare and new tactics used in the war
- The entry of the United States and the Russian Revolution
- The final moments of the war
- The Paris Peace Conference and the new world order
- And much, much more!

Newstead’s Savernake Medieval Murder Mystery Novel series.
Author Interview
1) How difficult is it to research settings for a Medieval Murder Mystery?
I’ve been doing it so long, I don’t really know. When I first started there was no web. Much of the history was a bit of a mystery even to experts. The manuscripts one might have needed were difficult to access but with the help of many people and institutions like libraries, I managed the investigation I needed. I’m still researching – it never ends. One has to play detective oneself never mind write about secrets and intrigue.
2) This is the fourteenth novel in your series. How do you keep the stories so fresh and exciting?
Ah, this is just practice I think. Clues have to be eked out and red herrings buried deep in the mystery. Pacing is very important and the investigation has to go on at the right speed, with little moments of humour to lift the intrigue.
3) Did you discover anything fascinating when researching this book?
Yes. All about Medieval scaffolding! Who knew exactly how the builders put together a castle? And the fact that some of that Medieval work is sometimes still there! I’ve seen it with my own eyes.

You Can Be An Actor Too! (Acting for Beginners Book 1)
Does your child want to be an actor? Has he or she caught the acting bug? Do they know what type of actor they want to be? Do they know everything that is involved in becoming an actor? In this children’s book, your child will learn through poetry and rhyme how they can be an actor too, if they know just what to do.Emma Rayne Lyle is a child actress best known for her roles as ‘Bridget’ in the feature film “Jessica Darling’s It List”, ‘Nicole Bloom’ in the feature film “Why Stop Now”, and Emily Reddy in the feature film I Don’t Know How She Does It which earned her the Young Artist Award as Best Young Actress Age Ten and Under.
She’s worked with some of Hollywood’s biggest stars.
Emma and her mother Nyna have been working side by side in the film and television business for the last ten years and they have learned a thing or two about the industry.
Together they created an acting book written specifically for kids who want to become actors but don’t know how. Many of the “how to be an actor books” are written by agents, acting coaches and managers – people who have not experienced what it is like to be the parent of a child actor and who have not been a child actor. Many acting books are full of useless text and fluff and by the time you finish the book, you still have no idea where to start.
Ain’t nobody got time for that! Especially moms and dads.
This little book is chockfull and let’s your little one know that no matter where they live, they can be an actor too.

You Like It Darker
‘You like it darker? Fine, so do I’, writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life – both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to read. King writes to feel ‘the exhilaration of leaving ordinary day-to-day life behind’, and in You Like it Darker, readers will feel that exhilaration too, again and again.
‘Two Talented Bastids’ explores the long-hidden secret of how the eponymous gentlemen got their skills. In ‘Danny Coughlin’s Bad Dream’, a brief and unprecedented psychic flash upends dozens of lives, Danny’s most catastrophically. In ‘Rattlesnakes’, a sequel to Cujo, a grieving widower travels to Florida for respite and instead receives an unexpected inheritance – with major strings attached. In ‘The Dreamers’, a taciturn Vietnam vet answers a job ad and learns that there are some corners of the universe best left unexplored. ‘The Answer Man’ asks if prescience is good luck or bad and reminds us that a life marked by unbearable tragedy can still be meaningful.
King’s ability to surprise, amaze, and bring us both terror and solace remains unsurpassed. Each of these stories holds its own thrills, joys, and mysteries; each feels iconic. You like it darker? You got it.
‘As classic as King’s novels are, his shorter fiction has been just as gripping over the years’ – USA Today
‘One of the great storytellers of our time’ – Guardian
